Creates 100-strong squad comprising cops and spooks with remit to disrupt ransomware ops
of a"Joint standing operation" that will see the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Signals Directorate run a team with a mission"to investigate, target and disrupt cyber-criminal syndicates with a priority on ransomware threat groups."
Minister for Home Affairs and Cyber Security Clare O'Neil said the operation will"scour the world, hunt down the criminal syndicates and gangs who are targeting Australia in cyber-attacks, and disrupt their efforts." "This is Australia standing up and punching back," she said during an interview on local political talking heads program."We are not going to sit back while our citizens are treated like this and allow there to be no consequences for that.""This is not a model of policing, where we wait for a crime to be committed and then try to understand who it is and do something to the people who are responsible.
"It weakens these groups if governments like ours collaborate with the FBI and other police forces and intelligence agencies around the world. The second important thing that we need to do is stand up and say that Australia is not going to be a soft target to this sort of thing. And if people come after our citizens, we are going to go after them."
